Over the past few weeks, the QCB team has been putting the finishing touches on both the brewery and tasting area. We hope to have our final inspections completed over the next couple of weeks, brew our first six batches, and open our doors to the public in May. Our lineup will include Landlady Ale (an ESB), Queen City Porter, Saint Amandus (Belgian amber ale), Duchess of Antwerp (Belgian blond ale), as well as two German-style offerings, Queen City Dunkel and Kölsch. To make sure you get the latest updates, check out our Facebook page.
Here are a few recent photos from the the brewery. A big thanks to everyone for your encouragement over the past year!
Brew kettle and mash tun stacks ready to be installed.
The brewhouse with the new stacks welded in place. The top two pipes along the wall make up the glycol loop which will keep the fermenters cool.
Newly installed taps in the tasting area. Design and finish work by QCB’s own Sarah van Ryckevorsel.
Dispensing system inside the walk-in cooler. Ready for some kegs!
Old serving trays add a bit of color to the mezzanine overlooking the bar.
QCB’s resident craftsman, Paul Held, working on the side bar which will separate the tasting area from the brewery.
The finished side bar – it looks great!
Stay tuned. We are getting close to brewing our first production batches. (The photographer couldn’t resist taking sip of beer. After all, a fresh rauchbier is hard to find.)

Uncle Phil – We are looking forward to seeing you!
Where in Vermont? We will be across the lake in NY in the Adirondacks and will be coming across to Burlington area. Would love to visit in July.
In the Queen City, of course! We are located at 703B Pine Street in Burlington, diagonally across from Lake Champlain Chocolates. We are right behind Swish Clean-It, with plenty of parking. I hope you can stop by! Cheers, Paul
Can’t wait ! We would love to pick up a couple of growlers. Any plans for brewery tours and tasting room ? Hoping to bring my crazy Wednesday night mens’ support group !
Alex – Yes, there is a tasting room, and I would be glad to show your group around.
